I'm an only child.
Abby Lee Miller
My childhood was great, honestly. I have all these incredible memories of my childhood. I was an only child. I always had all my cousins around. I had my grandparents around. I had my parents around. I had my uncles around - whatever.
Action Bronson
The one thing that was nice about being an only child is that my friends' parents would always ask me whether I would want any other brothers and sisters? My mom wasn't able to have any more children, and they didn't know that, but I would always say that I can have friends over, and whenever I get sick of them, I can just send them home.
Alexa Bliss
I'm a weirdo and an only child. That comes together to create one-woman shows.
Amanda Seales
At an early age I discovered the beauty in pictures in 'Vogue' magazine and Ebony magazine, and I would read 'The New York Times.' I had to make my own world within my world because I was an only child.
Andre Leon Talley
My father was proud that people thought I was a good actress. I'm the only child. And daddy's girl.
Ann-Margret
I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.
Ari Graynor
I'm an only child, and in college, I was given a single, and then I lived with people for, like, two years but were my best friends, and we had a really fun time. And then I lived alone or with a boyfriend. I've never really had a bad roommate situation.
My mum was a dancer when she was a kid. Then my parents met and eventually had an art gallery; my dad taught himself how to frame pictures, and then he was a curator at an art gallery in the city I'm from. I'm an only child.
Ari Millen
I was not big on playing house. I preferred make-believe that revolved around adventure, featuring pirates and knights. I was also domineering, impatient, relentlessly verbal, and, as an only child, often baffled by the mores of other kids.
Ariel Levy
My parents had an inter-reli'gious marriage. My father is a Gujarati and my mother a Bohri Muslim. I am an only child. My par'ents loved me very much, but were very strict: I was a tomboy, always among boys, playing, fighting.
Asha Parekh
I am an only child, so not only my father, even my mother is also very supportive of my career.
Asin
I'm an only child. My mother was raising me alone. We couldn't afford child care; child care hours didn't work according to her schedule.
Ayanna Pressley
I'm an only child, so I don't come from a big family. But it has been my observation from friends who do come from big families that usually, when you have a family fight, on the back end you come out better and stronger for it.
Being an only child, I was alone a lot and I had to make up games.
B. J. Armstrong
I've always wanted a family since I was a little girl - a big family. I'm an only child, so I wanted, like, 10 kids... for sure.
Behati Prinsloo
Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.
Benedict Cumberbatch
I was happy as an only child, but I've always wanted to be part of a bigger family.
I was an only child and I had a mother and father who were just - there wasn't a straight man in the house, and I mean that in a very nice way. They were fun, and we would laugh a lot.
Betty White
I was an only child; I didn't have a sister, or sisters.
Beverly Cleary
I'm an only child, and I don't mind being alone.
You spend a lot more time on your own as an only child. And there's space to allow your imagination to take flight.
I was an only child but I never longed for a sibling. It just didn't occur to me.
I'm an only child, and I can take all the attention you manage to pile on me.
I was very much an only child who was raised by the television and movies, and I grew up in New York. We weren't, like, rich people, but we were middle-class people and my parents supported this love I had for entertainment.
I always wanted to have that brother-sister rivalry type of stuff. So now I'm happy that at least Dream and King won't be the only child being super spoiled.
When people ask what it's like to be an only child, I say it depends on who your parents are. I was lucky.
My mom had me when she was 16, and I was an only child, which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.
I identify with Superman. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another world, that he's the ultimate immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him.
I didn't marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me.
Only children believe that apologies fix everything.
As an only child, I embrace loneliness. Hollywood loneliness helped to understand Marilyn Monroe in a real way. I was able to portray her very well.
I love working with children because, as an only child, I grew up always wishing for siblings.
I'm an only child, and I'm very, very close with my parents, who actually live in Australia.
I was an only child for 16 years. I didn't realize it at the time, but that experience definitely turned me into a people pleaser. I always tried to do what was expected of me, and I constantly sought reassurance from the adults around me that I was doing a good job.
Because I was an only child, I don't like many people around, and that's why I don't have any servants.
I'm an only child, so I don't even have nieces or nephews.
I was an only child of a father who loved me deeply, but we didn't play catch, even though I was an athlete. We didn't go fishing or hunting or any of the things I wanted to do. Why not? He just didn't do that.
I was on significant financial aid, an only child, with parents who didn't have much living in North Carolina.
I was an only child with a lot of time to kill. I suspect a lot of writers are only children, or only children become writers because it's a way of being alone.
I was an only child who had every advantage, every blessing, absolutely.
I was an only child, so I was very demanding. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I wasn't very pleasant.
I grew up with my dad. I'm an only child. My father was a cowboy, and he really loved me very much, but I think he wanted a son occasionally.
My parents elected me president of the family when I was 4. We actually had an election every year, and I always won. I'm an only child, and I could count on my mother's vote.
I grew up as an only child, so inherently, most of my life was centered around me. My parents taught me to play well with others and to share my toys, but I was still an only child who didn't have to share my parent's attention with siblings. As great as my childhood was, I always wanted brothers and sisters.
I'm an only child, so I got spoilt a lot. Which was a good thing.
I'm the only child of immigrant parents, you know? So all the pressure is just kind of on me: You have to make it. And I was like, 'Well, let me make it in music.' They were like, 'Nah, you gotta go to school.'
Oh, yeah. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960's. It was very different. I was an only child as opposed to having siblings. My brothers all lived with my step-mom. I am very close to them, but we were not raised in the same house.
I was an only child. We were so poor, my parents and I had the same room.
Growing up a lonely only child prepared me for the years of solitude spent as a writer; years spent in the company of people who don't exist, imaginary people you have conversations with. It's a paid form of madness, this writing stuff.
